US, Europe, Israel Agree On Solid Intel: Iran Nuke Threat Far Off

The United States, European allies, and Israel all agree that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, has not decided to build one, and is several years away from having a deliverable nuclear missile. Still, aggressive postures towards Tehran continue.

In 2007, the U.S. intelligence community concluded that Iran had halted weaponization of its nuclear program back in 2003 and has not restarted it since. That conclusion has been repeatedly reaffirmed in recent years, but some further details of the secret intelligence have been released.

According to Reuters, U.S. intelligence intercepted telephone and email communications from late 2006 or early 2007 in which Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a leading figure in Iran’s nuclear program, and other scientists complained that the weaponization program had been stopped. This was one piece of the puzzle that led to the 2007 finding.

According to reports, the U.S. has “significantly ramped-up American covert sabotage and non-proliferation campaign” inside Iran. Apparently “the CIA’s ops arm, the National Clandestine Service, along with the U.S. military” are “scrutinizing and seizing cargo shipments bound for Iran, tapping the black market for nuclear supplies and buying up spare parts, and maximizing the collection of Iranian signal traffic.” This has increased U.S. confidence in their assessments.

One primary type of intelligence the U.S. has on Iran’s nuclear program is what is called “measurement and signature intelligence,” or MASINT. These are “sensors on satellites, drones, and on the ground” measuring “everything from the electromagnetic signatures created by testing conventional missile systems to disturbances in the soil and geography around a hidden nuclear facility to streams of radioactive particles that are byproducts of the uranium enrichment process.” The U.S. “knows what Iran has and doesn’t have,” writes journalist Marc Ambinder.

These and other forms of intelligence have made current and former U.S. officials highly confident that Iran has no secret uranium-enrichment site outside the purview of U.N. nuclear inspections. While it was given hyperbolic treatment in the media, the IAEA’s November report helped confirm this in reporting that “the Agency continues to verify the non-diversion of [Iran’s] declared nuclear material.”

Hawks, mainly in the U.S. and Israel, have argued for waging preventive war on Iran in a unilateral attack aimed at crippling Iran’s legal civilian nuclear program before it can make it immune from bombing by building facilities underground and making the program sufficiently redundant throughout the country.

But here again, U.S. intelligence has held that they would detect any move by Iran to restart weaponization activities. There is simply no evidence for a nuclear program and no sensible reason, or legal justification, to attack if a nuclear weapons program is the pretext.

There are perfectly viable alternatives to sanctions, aggression, and war. If Israel, for example, agreed to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and open up its nuclear program to international inspections, as Iran has, the tension would probably dissipate. Further, if Israel agreed to give up its vast stockpiles of nuclear weapons and to imposing a nuclear weapons free zone in the Middle East – a deal Iran has repeatedly proposed – the tensions would surely vanish, along with the pretext for war. But this remains out of the question for Tel Aviv and Washington.

Everybody has known this for a long long time. There are people out there who can make big bucks by ratcheting the gas prices high and let the ordinary people carry all the pains of it. Even sanctions are illegal since the reason for it does not exist. It is bad for people of Iran, it is bad for all of us. If Iran does not have nuclear weapons program in their plans the murders of Iran's scientists should be investigated as crimes against humanity.

If somebody calls false bomb threat then he goes to jail (as for example Dwight Watson in 2003). How come the hawks and politicos can call false bomb threat endangering public of the world or at least the citizens of chosen country with no legal consequences? This world is going nuts! We had a false bomb threat before Iraq war – no one goes to jail. Why? Why is it not the same? A threat is a threat and since the consequences of false bomb threat on the international arena is usually a war with thousands and thousands dead people, the punishment should be harsher too.

How can we be such Nazis? Well…King George did pay us 40 pounds a scalp for "renegades" (25 cents for children after we took over the franchise) inspiring the Bush funded Hitler in his Holocaust…but not before the author of the Balfour Declaration had prohibited sanctuary for Jews during the pogroms in Eastern Europe.
According to John Loftus and Mark Aarons in 'The Secret War Against the Jews';
"They had his secret bank records with the Nazis…evidence of his complicity in helping Allen Dulles smuggle Nazi war criminals and money from the Vatican to Argentina."
"(Nelson) Rockefeller skimmed through the dossier and coolly began to
bargain. In return for the votes of the Latin American bloc he wanted
garuntees that the Jews would keep their mouths shut about the flow of
Nazi money and fugitives to South America. There would be no Zionist
Nazi hunting units, no testimony at Nuremberg about the bankers… The choice was simple
Rockefeller explained.'You can have vengence or you can have a
country, but you cannot have both.'"

No nuclear weapons programs have come to light, which of course we knew all along, so why continue imposing sanctions ? Or have they come to the conclusion that war with Iran is just a little too much to chew ?

"There are perfectly viable alternatives to sanctions, aggression, and war",indeed they are but all these alternatives are rational and Israel can't be rational because she is paranoic and being such she decided to change the definition:what is rational will be called irrational and vice versa.

Every one from EU to US and these brutal regimes as Saudis and UAE and Turkey thought that Syria is as easy as Libya, that NATO would come to their rescue and Israel/NATO would have a permanent military base in Syria where Turkey would reestablish part of its empire. Then it would be easy to take on Iraq and Iran, then US and NATO plan in militarizing the entire middle east have been achieved, after all Paul Wolfowitz idea is from (1990) when Bill Clinton was US president whom with Madeline Albright, the mother of all American Zionism, decided to start with Balkan war, later some of these idea was implemented by Bush regime protecting the family (BUSH) business in Kuwait, lying to the world about Iraq and making sure that Iraqi people would suffer no matter what. IN syrian case, as they did in Iraq using their trained and paid terrorists and mercenaries, is also the idea in dividing Syria, which is the idea of Joe Biden, into sectarian and tribal regions simply dividing the country. Now they see that, now they agree on their defeat in Syria, now NATO and its neo fascism from Sweden to French and England have learned that they need to, that they have to, that there is no other way then simply tell people the truth by coming up with BS like this:

"The United States, European allies, and Israel all agree that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, has not decided to build one, and is several years away from having a deliverable nuclear missile. Still, aggressive postures towards Tehran continue”.

Iran never had a nuclear weapon, they never wanted one but lier is always a lier, a thief is always a thieve and a fascist is always a fascist, they lied about Iraq to start the war there, and they still lie about Afghanistan and Iran to keep their military in Middle east and central Asia, where they able to continue with their lies.

The supposed Iranian "threat" is like the US cavalry…. Always just over the next hill ready to rescue the warmongers and their lies. And I've seen this very game played out for over thirty years. Nothing has changed. Not the tune nor the singers only the rhythm and the frequency.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
SUBJECT: The Proposed Attack Upon, and Invasion, “Liberation,” and Occupation of Iran
Dear Sir,

In accordance with and as specified by the Constitution of the United States of America, you WILL NOT attack, invade, “liberate,” and occupy Iran without a formal Declaration of War from the Congress of the United States.

Also in accordance with and also as specified by the Constitution of the United States of America, no money will be authorized for or be spent on an attack, invasion, “liberation,” or occupation of Iran UNTIL you ask for and get a formal Declaration of War from the Congress of the United States.

Who says so? WE say so. We, The People of the United States of America.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (continued)
SUBJECT: The Proposed Attack Upon, and Invasion, “Liberation,” and Occupation of Iran

And what happens if you ignore this letter, and attack, invade, “liberate,” and occupy Iran (with Congressional approval, no doubt, but) without a Declaration of War? Then you will be arrested and put on trial for Violating the Constitution. Additionally, the entire Congress will be arrested and put on trial for Dereliction of Duty for letting you do it. To put it in Chicago-speak that maybe even you might understand, Mr President: your predecessor bull****ted his way past the Congress and the American people into Afghanistan and Iraq, and it looks like you’re going to be able to bull**** your way “out” of Iraq (and maybe even enough of Afghanistan) just in time for the 2012 elections.

But, you WILL NOT bull**** your way past the American people into Iran.

There is a very easy solution to this problem, once those who don't want solutions are removed from office.
If Iran didn't even need nuclear power, and so didn't develop it, this whole issue would cesae.
The US patents office has five thousand plus patents for free energy devices thatremain secret and prevent the inventors from even discussing their inventions.
If these were released to Iran, then Iran could soend all its money on developing these devices, and the whole world would benefit.
On the other hand, if the US is simply looking for any old excuse for war, then again the discussion becomes as irrelevant as the similar previous discussiona about WMDs in Iraq.
